But the reality is be it this year, next year, or soon-after there will be a Jeopardy after Alex Trebek.

Who would you like to see take over the show?

PLEASE GIVE YOUR ANSWER IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION. :up:

Is that a question or an answer?

If you don't know on your side of the pond, Jeopardy is a long running American game show. It is pretty universally regarded as game show with the hardest questions- a much better test of skill then all the "Million Dollar" shows that became popular in the last decade. Jeopardy you have to be a genius to earn $50,000. On more modern game shows you can walk away for $50,000 for walking in the door.

Alex Trebek has been hosting it for 28 years. Many of us grew up knowing him as the only host.

In Jeopardy they give you an "Answer" and you have to give "The Question." So the Answer you see might be- "He was the 40th President of the United States" and the contestants would have to buzz in, the first one to answer with the question "Who was Ronald Reagan?" wins the question and takes control of the board (gets to choose the next question.)

It is also HILARIOUSLY parodied on Saturday Night Live:

Someone serious. Did you ever notice how serious he was during the game? If he was replaced by some one of a joker type I'll quit watching it.
